“Conventional air-conditioning (AC) is the most common technology used for cooling and represents a considerable share of energy demand in warmer regions. An alternative that is not frequently considered, is seawater air-conditioning (SWAC)—a renewable alternative for cooling that involves pumping seawater from ocean depths of around 700 to 1200 meters and temperatures of 3°C to 5°C to the coast, where it exchanges heat with a district cooling system, and returns the warmer water to the ocean.”
“The momentum for new reactors is growing as the technology receives government support and is maturing because of the hard work of developers. I’m glad there is now more widespread recognition for the carbon-free applications new reactors bring to electricity generation and beyond. These new developments will lead to a diverse portfolio of advanced reactors that are positioned to meet needs: for new customers, new markets and the climate.”
“LafargeHolcim, a global building materials supplier, has received a $1.5 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy to research and develop a system to capture and sequester the plant’s carbon dioxide emissions.”
“For many years, we have let fear, rather than facts, control the narrative over nuclear power. While the conventional story around nuclear power focuses on the few disasters that have occurred, nuclear’s track record tells a different story: one of unparalleled safety, successful waste management, and abundant, affordable, green energy.”
“Rather than deny Americans the chance to judge the candidates’ positions on an issue they care about, Trump should join Republican voters and lawmakers in supporting an innovation-based approach to climate change.”
“Republicans often complain that young people trend more and more liberal. With moves like this, though, the RNC isn't even trying to win over young conservative voters like me, who care about climate change but don't want to grow the government. Simply warning against climate alarmism and obstructing big-government measures isn't enough. It's important to stand against those things, but we have to stand for something, too.”
“What is predictable, however, is that markets will continue to evolve to reflect consumer preferences, and if consumers want electric cars, which they seem to, market forces are a better way to serve that demand.”
“Studies have shown that nuclear energy is one of the safest forms of energy. For example, a study that looked at deaths from energy production in European found that nuclear energy ‘results in more than 442 times fewer deaths than the dirtiest forms of coal; 330 times fewer than coal; 250 times less than oil; and 38 times fewer than gas.’ This data also shows nuclear being marginally safer than wind and solar.”
“Voluntary carbon markets in agriculture are indeed at a crucial tipping point. Policymakers have a role to play in bringing greater validity to the markets, which will ensure that this momentum is not wasted and is instead channeled toward projects that yield long-term environmental benefits for us all.”
“[M]ore than 100 of the state's most prominent leaders came together virtually on Wednesday to sign the inaugural Utah Climate and Clean Air Compact - a compassionate, pragmatic, first-of-its kind directive encouraging broad support and productive conversations and action on climate and clean air solutions.”
